Sorry I missed all the Volt discussion.  My opinion is that if you're going to keep the driving short-range, it's not a bad deal for you.  I wonder about the environmental impact, since much of the electric power in this country is still produced by burning coal, but I don't know enough about the relative emissions per unit of energy produced.  It's still a shitty deal in an economic sense, since the actual cost Government Motors incurred for making the car didn't change, all that changed was that effectively the government decided to bestow some money upon you for buying the car, thus lowering the price you paid for it.  They got that money from the taxpayer, or they borrowed it from taxpayers' future tax payments, since governments don't have their own wealth or resources but are simply transfer agents.

There's a whole lot of stick poking in this post.  Well done.

Though I'd agree with a shift away from coal plants towards more nuke plants.

Oddly, so would I. And I'm apparently some sort of bomb-throwing radical.

Yeah, but with those sideburns, it's clear you throw bombs like a girl.

They don't call me Broadway Bort because of the feather boa and the showtunes. Though that admittedly helps.

Everyone is simply a transfer agent. Aside from the solar input, this is essentially a closed system.

Only locally.

System-wide, there's no getting around the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, TJ.

I'll allow you geothermal energy as an exception, but aside from that and Mighty Sol, it's all headed towards max entropy.

Let's say I were having a baby boy at the end of the year.  Because I am. If I name him Casey, am I dooming him to a life of being teased for having a girl's name?  According to the social security web site, it get used more for boys than for girls ...

Thought I pulled out.  Dammit. 

Don't worry.  She didn't know it was still in, either.

Is this the part of Desipio where Bad Kermit apologizes again for dropping the breadcrumbs that led TDubbs here in the first place?
